Physicality: The New Age of UI
- Designer Sebastiaan de With explores the potential for a major redesign of Apple’s operating systems, tracing iOS through three past design eras and considering what might come next.
- De With advocates for future UI designs that incorporate tangible elements like depth, motion, and haptic feedback to create a more immersive user experience.
- “I love products with innovative, novel interfaces — modern iOS isn’t simply a product, but a platform. Its designers bear responsibility to make the system look good even in uncontrolled situations where third party developers like myself come up with new, unforeseen ideas.”
To Grow We Must Forget—But AI Remembers Everything
- AI researcher Amy Chivavibul explores the risks of persistent memory in AI, warning that while it offers personalization and convenience, it can also trap users in static patterns by reinforcing past behaviors and limiting growth.
- Drawing on cognitive science, the author calls for intentional design that builds “forgetting” into AI systems, allowing users to evolve and avoid the psychological stagnation of hyper-personalization.
- “Selective forgetting helps us prioritize the relevant, discard the outdated, and stay flexible in changing environments. It prevents us from becoming trapped by obsolete patterns or overwhelmed by noise.”
